Release Date:
Legendary Director and Producer Ed Zwick recalls the making of 1989's triple Oscar winner Glory. Fresh off of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the studio wanted the young Matthew Broderick to be the star in a film about the U.S. Army's first all-Black regiment. Zwick had to fight to ensure the movie told the right story, relying on his ingenuity to convince the studio of his vision from start to finish, and inventing the sizzle reel in the process.
